Default Battery terminals, multiple cables?

Another question.

Have just replaced a lot of loomage on the Saff, as a result have a shitload of battery fed lives, even more than the standard set up.

Besides the + terminal plate that came as original equipment on the battery are there any better solutions out there? I've got around 12 cables that I need to connect to the + and -. It's currently an OCD Sparkies nightmare.

Cheers

James at autodynamix does a relocation box that feeds off the + but I can't find a pick. Give him an email.

Alternatively convert to round post and use a 1995 onwards Escort positive cable with the fuse block built in. I use Zetec ones and trim the positive lead down with a new end to go on the starter motor.

just connect your wires to the fuse terminals and insert appropriate fuses. All Ford items and factory look.
